This comes at a crucial moment in the film.
It happens just before Violet and Daisy decide to embark on what will be a life-altering journey.

What was some of the thinking behind the design of the poster?
It evokes the feeling from an era that was a significant influence on the film too.
It has that late 60s and 70s feeling to it.

And why the tagline Too much sugar can kill you?
I often like taglines that have multiple meanings.
At times Violet and Daisy are quite sweet.
I feel both ways.
Im certain some people will watch this film and conclude that it bears no resemblance toPrecious.
I think others will watch the film and see striking similarities between the two films.
Theyre both coming-of-age stories where young women are finding their ways in very tough environments.
What was the festival circuit experience like forViolet & Daisy?
Toronto was a great screening and so was Savannah.
